Boomless Pasture Sprayers
Boomless pasture sprayers are portable spraying systems designed for small-area applications such as through a pasture, a hayfield, or on the roadside, where traditional boom spray systems would encounter difficulties.
Characteristics of a Boomless Pasture Sprayer
Boomless pasture sprayers come in three-point, self-propelled, or pull-behind configurations. They feature a durable tank (that can hold between 50-500 gallons of chemical product) and light-duty pump, mounted on a wheeled trailer that can be hitched to your tractor, lawn mower, or ATV.
Outfitting Your Boomless Pasture Sprayer
Boomless pasture sprayers are completely customizable and can be outfitted with a variety of spraying accessories, like electric valves, regulators, foam markers, spray guns, and other useful devices.
Choosing Your Boomless Pasture Sprayer
Three-Point
Three-point sprayers are the most affordable and versatile option for farmers looking to use a boomless pasture sprayer for small operations. The downside is that farmers who choose this option must take extra care of their equipment, due to the sprayer’s proximity to the tractor, as well as the corrosive nature of fertilizers applied at higher application rates.
Pull-Behind
Pull-behind models boast increased tank capacity and versatility. They can be outfitted with many accessories, like a lightbar, guidance systems, or rate controllers. However, they are more expensive than other models and thus a larger investment with a low resale value.
Self-Propelled
Self-propelled models have been a recent trend over the past 10 years or so, and boast the most efficiency and technology-informed operations. Self-propelled units can cover up to 150 acres per hour and are practical for users looking to save time in the field.
